Big_G 28 May 10:44am, 28 May 2025 4,966 posts	Quote Pin Big_G Just had an odd one at Go Outdoors. The van uses campingaz and I had an empty small, bottle that I wanted to exchange for a full, large one, expecting it to be £60-£70. Chap rang it up on the till and it said -£2.50, so he called the manager who scratched his head and after a few seconds said ‘fine’. So I walked out with a larger, full bottle and slightly more money than I went in with.

Big_G 28 May 12:16pm, 28 May 2025 4,967 posts	Quote Pin Big_G Yes, very odd. I do have a discount card with them (£5 a year) and on a closer look at the receipt it says: Large new and full. £57.50. Small empty. -£60 Using your discount card saved you £57.50. Total. -£2.50. So I don’t know if it was some weird thing with me having a discount card that the system wasn’t set up correctly to understand, or what it was. The chap on the till was as bewildered as I was, after the manager had left.

3M 28 May 10:49pm, 28 May 2025 26,395 posts	Quote Pin 3M £37 pretty much for a 6kg Calor gas propane "refill". £68 for a "new" cylinder (when you don't have one to swap). I think Calor set the price, not the retailer?
cathrobinson 28 May 11:02pm, 28 May 2025 13,625 posts	Quote Pin cathrobinson I paid £30 at our local caravan shop, or £32 at our local garden centre - both for 6kg refills.
RunningRonnie 29 May 7:43am, 29 May 2025 3,828 posts	Quote Pin RunningRonnie We had a load of hassle getting a new cylinder. One came with the van (6kg calor) and we wanted a second one so that when one runs out, it's a quick swap. Tried the first campsite we were on, told they only do exchanges. Tried another campsite, told the same. This one directed us to the main supplier for the area in Fort William... they told us the same! Went round the corner to a trade supply shop and they changed it. Told us that the others were talking rubbish and that anyone can do new ones now, they most likely could not be bothered with the paperwork.
